Our aim related to medical work
Not to lose one patient
Acting as an interface to save lifes
To promote a healthy start in life
The charitable "St. Mary's Child and Mother Health Care Centre" provides preventive and curative medical care mainly to the Santal children from the rural area around Bolpur. Diagnostic facilities are available.
Our team identifies vulnerable villagers (pregnant women, newborns, infectious, anemic, malnourished, neurological children or TB suspected patients, emergency patients) and invites or personally guides them to our health care centre for diagnostics, preventive checkups and care.

Intensive awareness sessions inside the health care centre for admitted patients and invited villagers raise awareness about nutrition, hygiene, family planning, and how to recognize sickness and the importance of prenatal checkups & preventive Newborn checkups. Further cognitive and physical stimulation of malnourished and neurological children is one key issue.

Our team acts like a bridge to make medical care accessible to the villagers. Severely sick patients are further referred by St. Mary to the Government hospitals and specialized health institutions. Respectively, heart surgeries for children are organized and operations for e.g. bone TB, or cancer patients. They receive continuous support through Shining Eyes to fulfill needed diagnostic and treatment with proper after-care until recovery.

Doctor´s and Emergency Room
Emergency room
The emergency room consists of a phototherapy for newborns with jaundice, and an ECG. Frequently we do the dressing for burn patients, or patients suffering from ulcers.
Diagnostic
Diagnostics
The health care center maintains a laboratory for diverse analysis. Furthermore, X-ray, USG, ECHO, ECG and EEG are available.
In the laboratory blood and urine examinations or the Mantoux test are conducted. Sputum is collected and analyzed in another health department. X-ray helps to diagnose lung TB, as well as bone fractures.
Still too many children suffer from TB. Spine and lymph node TB as well as TB meningitis are most common in children who had contact to adults with lung TB earlier in their life. Often these children miss needed preventive medicines. Therefore a tuberculosis screening and monitoring program is hosted by Shining Eyes. Children with acute TB can be diagnosed in our hospital in order to decide how and where to continue the treatment for them.
